The Israeli-Hamas war is set to escalate after an Israeli air strike hit Al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza City, killing over 500 people.
AlJazeera reported that thousands of civilians affected by the attack were either seeking medical treatment or shelter from relentless attacks.
Gaza health ministry said at least 500 casualties were recorded in the hospital blast.
Israel also attacked A UN-run school housing refugees.
The ceaseless bombardment of the Gaza strip by Israel made Iran’s foreign minister to issue another threatening statement as he said pro-Iranian groups in the region could act preemptively against Israel, even in the “coming hours”.
So far, some 3,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since Hamas’s October 7 attack inside Israel, which has killed more than 1,400.
